Heat and Energy Saving Strategy Consultation

DECC is committed to ensuring that this website is accessible to the widest possible range of people.

We have endeavoured to use our knowledge and understanding of the ways in which different people access the Internet to develop a web site that is clear and simple for everybody to use.

We have used XHTML 1.0 and CSS that conforms to the specification as laid out by the W3C, because we believe that usability and accessibility must have a solid foundation in the use of web standards.  We have also endeavoured to achieve AA accessibility as measured against version 1.0 of the WCAG.  We are aware however, that a number of the checkpoints of the WCAG are subjective - and although we are sure that we have met them squarely, there may be instances where interpretation may vary.  We have ensured that all our images have alt text when they have textual meaning.

If you have any questions or suggestions regarding the accessibility of this site, or if you have difficulty using any part of it, please contact us.
